Do you understand what does it says above?
If not, maybe it's time for you to learn how to understand geek talk . Though not always necessary, it's a good feeling to know these internet slang words.
At least, for you, so as not to be left behind by the rapid evolving web culture and lingo.
You maybe already are using LOL or WTF, yet here are still new words for you to enhance your surfing language:
01 Ermahgerd
02 Rule 34
Rule 34 is both
a meme and a humorous truism that claims anything on the Web somehow has
pornography attached to it somewhere. Whether it is an innocent picture of world
continents, your garden in the back yard, or even aircraft, Rule 34 claims that
somewhere there is a sexualized version available online.
03 FML
'F*ck My
Life', a humorous expression of despair. First appearing in 2008, and growing to immense
popularity in 2011, FML is used in text messaging and online conversations to
say 'my life is laughable and pathetic'. This expression has become so
popular, there are entire websites dedicated to examples of FML.
04 Meme
Memes are pictures with captions on it .There are many reasons
to create a viral meme curiosity, and then spread it around the Web. Memes are
absurd, funny, and at times: even profound. Creating a meme can be a creative
challenge, and a real personal victory when it finally goes viral.
05 Facepalm or /facepalm
Question: What Is 'Facepalm'? Is It the Same as '/Facepalm'?
This
peculiar expression appeared in your online chat today, but you're not quite
sure what it means. What exactly is '/facepalm', and how is it meant to be used
in conversation?
Answer: 'Facepalm' means the same as 'banging my head against my desk'.
It is an expression of frustration or agitation. The visual is of a person
smacking their forehead with their palm, often with the verbal expression
'doh!' to convey the frustration out loud.
In the world of online gaming, you will see the slash as in/facepalm. The slash command is commonly used as a gamer command, so it is intended to be more comic to add the slash to the front of the expression.

Reddit commentaries, and Facebook posts. Whether you see it spelled as
'derp' or 'durp', the meaning is the same: someone is getting insulted.

11) 1337 or leet
The Story Behind '1337
Leet'
In the days of Windows 95, a group of infamous hackers named "The Dead Cow Cult" used to take remote control of Windows 95 machines. They used a nasty software package called Back Orifice, and used the network port 31337 to take over thousands of Win95 computers worldwide. Their purposeful misspelling of the world "elite" as "leet" or "1337" was a way to bypass censorship programs.
Years later, the Dead Cow Cult influence has morphed into a subculture of jargon and power user language. People who speak "leet" today are not malicious hackers. Instead leetspeak is often the trademark of serious Internet gamers and people who pride themselves on being technically savvy.
